The main-stage conversation

Where could we go?

MAIN STAGE · 10:00 · 60 MINUTES

THE FUTURE OF ANAMBRA'S DIGITAL ECONOMY

Where could Anambra's digital economy go, and what would it take to get there?

We've looked at where Anambra's digital economy stands today.

Now we look forward.

This main-stage conversation brings together different perspectives from across business, technology, talent, education, government and the wider ecosystem to explore what Anambra’s digital economy could become over the next five years, and what needs to change to make that future possible.

Panelists to be announced.

Focused breakout conversations

11:30–13:00

One conversation cannot answer all of these questions. So we take the biggest questions into smaller rooms, where the people closest to each issue can work through them together.

Parallel rooms, each organised around one question that matters to Anambra's digital economy. Participants are placed in the room where they can contribute, not spread across the whole day.
